Abstract

"Over the last two decades, spurred particularly by the decoding of the genome, neuroscience has advanced to become the primary basis of clinical psychiatry, even as environmental risk factors for mental disorders have been deemphasized. In this thoroughly revised, second edition of Nature and Nurture in Mental Disorders, the author argues that an overreliance on biology at the expense of environment has been detrimental to the field-that, in fact, the "nature versus nurture" dichotomy is unnecessary. Instead, he posits a biopsychosocial model that acknowledges the role an individual's predisposing genetic factors, interacting with environmental stressors, play in the etiology of many mental disorders. The first several chapters of the book provide an overview of the theories that affect the study of genes, the environment, and their interaction, examining what the empirical evidence has revealed about each of these issues. Subsequent chapters apply the integrated model to a variety of disorders, reviewing the evidence on how genes and environment interact to shape disorders including depressive disorders, PTSD, neurodevelopmental disorders, eating disorders, and personality disorders. By rejecting both biological and psychosocial reductionism in favor of an interactive model, Nature and Nurture in Mental Disorders offers practicing clinicians a path toward a more flexible, effective treatment model. And where controversy or debate still exist, an extensive reference list provided at the end of the book, updated for this edition to reflect the most current literature, encourages further study and exploration"--

Abstract

Tal van erfelijke aandoeningen kunnen, lang voor er symptomen zijn, opgespoord worden via een genetische test, meer bepaald via DNA-onderzoek. In vakkringen spreekt men van ‘predictieve’ (voorspellende/voorzeggende/waarschuwende) tests. Een stijgend aantal mensen doet een beroep op de genetische centra voor een erfelijkheidsraadpleging en/of een genetische test. Ze maken zich zorgen dat ze later misschien de ziekte kunnen krijgen die een of meerdere familieleden heeft. Een predictieve test biedt soms de mogelijkheid om hun eigen toekomst te kennen, althans wat die ziekte betreft. De test gaat na of een symptoomloos persoon een mutatie heeft die zeker of met een hoge kans leidt tot een erfelijke ziekte later in het leven. Personen met die mutatie zijn dus nog geen 'patiënten'. Sommige onder hen zullen zelfs nooit de aandoening krijgen. De persoonlijke beslissing om een predictieve test te laten uitvoeren is vaak een heel moeilijk proces. Dit is vooral zo als er geen behandeling of preventie voor de ziekte bestaat of alleen door ingrijpende maatregelen, zoals preventieve chirurgie. Slechts één vijfde van de mogelijke dragers van een erfelijke aandoening laat zich testen. Bij de tachtig procent die zich niet laat testen zijn er zeker velen die liever niet weten of ze later al dan niet ziek zullen worden. Over de mogelijkheden en beperkingen van genetisch testen en de psychologische, familiale, maatschappelijke en ethische implicaties ervan zijn niet alleen de potentiële aanvragers van deze tests, maar ook vele professionelen in de gezondheidszorg onvoldoende op de hoogte. Toch is er behoefte aan meer informatie. Met dit boek willen de auteurs, werkzaam aan de K.U.Leuven en/of het UZ te Leuven, hieraan tegemoet komen. Tot slot inventariseren ze de mogelijkheden en beperkingen van predictieve genetische tests voor een aantal andere neurodegeneratieve aandoeningen resp. erfelijke kankers. Ook recent beschikbare mogelijkheden met betrekking tot erfelijke hartaandoeningen, meer bepaald erfelijke hartritmestoornissen, passeren de revue. Het werk bevat een aantal nuttige bijlagen: een adressenlijst van genetische centra in België en Nederland en een uitgebreide verklarende woordenlijst. Het boek is vooral geschreven voor beroepsgroepen die op een of andere manier betrokken kunnen worden bij predictief genetisch testen: huisartsen, verpleegkundigen en andere professionelen uit de gezondheidszorg maar ook juristen, ethici en beleidsverantwoordelijken. De toegankelijkheid voor patiënten en families met erfelijke aandoeningen is naar mijn mening beperkt. Het gaat immers over een onderzoeksverslag. Gelukkig zijn er vele persoonlijke getuigenissen opgenomen. Zij kozen voor twee soorten erfelijke aandoeningen. De ziekte van Huntington staat model voor het testen op neurodegeneratieve aandoeningen die meestal op volwassen leeftijd optreden en waarvoor nog geen afdoende behandeling bestaat. De erfelijke vorm van borst- en eierstokkanker wordt gebruikt als uitgangspunt voor een aantal andere erfelijke kankers. Dragers van de mutatie voor erfelijke borst- en eierstokkanker kunnen wel preventieve, zij het ingrijpende, maatregelen nemen. Voor iedere aandoening belichten ze eerst welke soorten predictieve genetische tests kunnen uitgevoerd worden en hoe dit in de praktijk verloopt. De procedure is uitgebreid en gebeurt altijd in een multidisciplinair kader. Zij hebben ook een ruime groep huisartsen, verpleegkundigen en vroedvrouwen, patiëntenorganisaties en onderzoekers in de biotechnologie bevraagd over de wenselijkheid van genetische testen. De auteurs besteden naar verhouding echter veel ruimte aan de uitkomsten van deze bevraging en te weinig aan conclusies, bijvoorbeeld in verband met sensibilisering van de bevolking.

Abstract

This book addresses the biological, moral and legal issues which arising prenatal testing of late onset neurogenetic disease. The contributors focus specifically on Huntington's Disease, which is used as a model for other late onset neurogenetic diseases. The ethical and legal aspects of prenatal testing and preimplantation genetic diagnosis are discussed with reference to case histories. This volume will provide valuable insights for all those involved in dealing with these challenging issues.

Abstract

A popular and easy-to-use guide, this book is a must-have tool for clinical consultations in genetics and genomic medicine. Ideal for quick reference during practice, it covers the process of diagnosis, investigation, management, and counselling for patients. With a strong evidence base and international guidelines, it puts reliable and trustworthy guidance at your fingertips. Designed for use as a first-line guide, the A to Z format ensures it's accessible, and the simple layout makes it easy to assimilate information. Highly illustrated, the book also contains up-to-date glossaries of terms used in genetics and dysmorphology providing quick reference for key concepts. The second edition is an eagerly anticipated update of the gold standard in the specialty. It covers new developments in the field, particularly the advent of genome-wide sequencing and major updates in cancer. Fifteen new topics have been added, including Sudden cardiac death, Neonatal screening, and Ciliopathies. The authors have used their experience to devise a practical clinical approach to many common genetic referrals, both outpatient and ward based. The most common Mendelian disorders, chromosomal disorders, congenital anomalies and syndromes are all covered, and where available diagnostic criteria are included. In addition there are chapters on familial cancer and pregnancy-related topics such as fetal anomalies, teratogens, prenatal and pre-implantation diagnosis and non-invasive prenatal testing. The book also provides information on the less common situations where management is particularly complex. Both practical and pertinent, Oxford Desk Reference: Clinical Genetics and Genomics is the companion you need by your side during clinical consultations.
